A Few of My Favorite things

 


1. Red apple timer. This is a 60-minute activity timer. I got three of them at a charity shop last summer. I did not need three of them... but now I have them. I like them all equally because they are the same thing. 


2. Picture of a cat in a frame. No idea whose cat this is. I got this in Wales at a charity shop. Now it sits on my desk, and I look at it every day. Fate. 


3. Picture of my grandmother on her honeymoon. A few months ago, I went through a couple of old photo albums with my grandmother, one of them being her honeymoon from 1972. This photo was tucked in the back between the pages that were blank. They got a divorce in 2005. 

 

4. My mother's pendant. This pendant was a gift to my mother from hers. I was given her jewelry box by my grandmother a few years ago and one of the pieces in it was this pendant. This is my favorite piece that was hers it looks like her.  


A few of my pins: 

 

5. I've Got the Spirit of Massachusetts... Enough Said.  


6. GONE CRAZY BE BACK LATER. This pin is like a label warning others of what I'm like... crazy. It belongs on my bag. 

 

7. IT'S ONLY WARM FOR ME. This pin resonates with me. I tend to get warm fast and am the first one to sweat. I am also a warm person.
